[Artemisia] Speaking of classes - Estrella

[Ellen Stavash]

Reiki is the invention of Dr. Mikao Usui, who died in the 1890's.  He drew on many ancient traditions in his work, including ancient Tibetan healing arts and Buddhist writings.   Various types of energy healing were used throughout our period, including chanting and symbols in Asia, and laying on of hands in the Christian tradition.  Reiki itself is a modern offshoot of these traditional arts.

So no, there is no Reiki history during our period, except in the sense that Reiki has it's origins in ancient healing arts.  Reiki itself is a wonderful thing, and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in alternative healing modalities.  I think it's wonderful that Talanesea is offering her time and energy to help people learn to heal themselves and others, but it would probably be more appropriate to do the attunements in someone's personal camp area, rather than in an Estrella classroom.

Is there Reiki history during the span of time the SCA is in?
